DAVID H. SIMMONS, OF FUNK, NEBRASKA.

DISH-WASHER.

To all whom it may cfincern:

Be it known that I, DAVID H. SIMMONS, a

. citizen of the United States, residing at Funk,

in the county of Phelps and State ofNebraska, have invented certain new and useerence beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specifica tion.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in dish washing and rinsing apparatus; and the object of the invention is to produce a simple and eflicient means whereby a quantity of dishes may be quickly and thoroughly cleansed.

The invention comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of arts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

\ I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through my improved dish-washing apparatus. Fig, 2 is an end elevation, and Fig. 3, is a detail view, of. one of the racks positioned within-the tanks for holding the dishes in la'ce.

Reference now being had to t e details of the drawings b letter, A designates a tank having a plura 'ty of compartments, three beingshownin thedrawings, the central one (designated by letter B) comprising a rinsingtank and the end compartments 0 and D befor the purpose of'washing dishes. Rising from the ends of the compartment-tank are the standards E, and F is a cross-piece connecting the upper'ends of said standards.

N designates a, rece tacle having a micrated bottom N, in w 'ch dishes may e set on edgeor otherwise, and a handle M is fastoned to each of said receptacles, and a rope O is secured to said handle and passes over a pulley Q, supp.orted by the cross-pieceE'and one of said-standardaand thence extends down 1 and about a winding naled in suitable bearings in the standards at one end I of said compartment tank A Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed nne 14,1904. Serial No. 212,556-

ulley Q, mounted upon -drum H, jour- Patented Oct. 9, 1906.

crank H is fitted to said winding-drum,whereby the drum may be turned in one direction for the urpose of raising the receptaclefrom one of t e compartments of the tank. Each compartment s provided with a similar receptacle and hoisting-rope, there being two drums, one at each end of the tank, in which. the ropes may be wound. i

In the bottom of each receptacle is an elongated rack T, which is adapted to rest a short distance above the bottom of the receptacle and has a series of wires twisted about the o posite longitudinal wires of the'rack and isposed in parallel inclined planes and.

between which dlshes are adapted to be frictionall held for the purpose of allowing water to eely circulate about the dishes to insure their being thoroughly rinsed.

The operation of my dishwashing apparatus is as follows: The dishes to be washed are laced in one of the receptacles adapted to be lowered into one of the end compartments of the tank, and by raising and lowering the receptacle by means of the Windlass and rope connections therewith the water is agitated and coming against the dishes will thoroughly cleanse the same, after which the receptacle, awith the. dishes therein, may be lowered into the central tank, where they may be thoroughly rinsed.

By the provision of my improved dishwashing apparatus it will be observed that a simple and efiicient means is rovided for q uickl cleansing the dishes in arge quantit es, t us affording a mechanism especially ada ted for hotel use or where it is desired to was large quantities of dishes quickly.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new, and desire'to secure by ed es and with crossieces of wire which are coi ed aboutthe-sai longitudinal wires of the rack and dis planes, as set fort In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
